How do I create a WordPress web design for my business?

Navigation

The most important thing when creating a WordPress web design for your business is that it is easy to use later and your site is easy to navigate. Don't make your visitors search for the content, but lead them to it. Make sure they find the menu straight away and don't make this too confusing either.

Your content should appeal to your target group and be tailored to them. Address everything your target group needs to know - no more, no less.

Theme

Consider in advance what kind of appearance, i.e. theme, your website should have. How should your company be presented on your website? What content do you want to show your visitors? Which media will you include on your site? Etc.

Structure

The top of your home page should directly show the services or products your company offers. This is the first thing users see when they arrive on your site. In the footer of your pages, you should always include a privacy policy and the imprint - and ideally also your contact details.

For this particular structure, WordPress provides you with templates to make the development of your website easier.

SEO

When planning your site, never forget search engine optimisation. SEO measures such as ideal loading times, optimised content and user-friendliness are prerequisites for Google to rank your company website highly. WordPress offers numerous SEO plug-ins for this purpose.
